Description
This section contains a list of changes to OMhelp during 2008 (in reverse order by date). Its purpose is to assist you in learning about changes between versions.

10-01
The codep and verbatim commands were generating extra new lines at the beginning and end of the corresponding text (after the fix on 08-07-08). This has been fixed.

07-08
There is a problem with Firefox's copy and paste which results in extra new lines. The codep and verbatim command outputs have been changed so that these commands are not affected.

04-11
Change getting started examples near_equal.c and near_equal.f to near_equal_c and near_equal_f . This makes it simpler to avoid conflicts between the C and Fortran versions of these files.

The test of near_equal_f was failing to link properly to the corresponding C main program. This has been fixed by adding configuration testing that checks how Fortran names should be linked from C.

03-22
Modify the method where by symbols change size in displayed formulas; see DisplaySym . This fixed \bigcap and \bigcup in displayed formulas.

03-21
Some of the Latex symbols were using character codes of the form &x0F5hh (where hh is two hex digits). Such codes are not in the current MathML standard; e.g., see

http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/byalpha.html

This has been fixed. Most all the codes now come directly from the standard document listed above. The exceptions are \diamondsuit and \heartsuit. You can find a list of which of these codes are not displayed properly for Firefox and IE Explorer at the following links: Firefox , IE Explorer . Here is a list of the OMhelp Latex symbols that changed with this correction to OMhelp:
